Tinted visors in the NHL?

[pbhockey4 0]

Is Ovi the only one with the tinted visor or is there more players out there with tinted visors?

[steelnation248 101]

Hossa does. I'm sure there are more but he's the only one I can think of who for sure does off the top of my head. I think Kopitar and Zherdev have/had one before.

[Machinehead2k5 32]

Kopitar, Antropov, and Hemsky (at least he used to).

[RadioGaGa 162]

Filitov does as well....doesn't he? Oh, and of course...David Perron.

[EDIT] After a quick Getty search....Filitov does not...and his name is spelled FILATOV! LOL

Kyle McLaren use to wear the yellow visor

[Haggerty 144]

Fedorov started this trend from what I can remember

Brian Propp & Theo Fleurey may have predated Fedorov.

[Haggerty 144]

forgot about Fluery, yeah think that was before federov

I remember OV using the mirrored visor until Brodeur bitched n ruined it for everyone.

[Machinehead2k5 32]

I don't remember Fleury using one, unless he switched.

[chippa13 1844]

Fleury was wearing one, probably because the bright lights of the rinks really exacerbated his hangovers.

Haha...good point. Sadly may be very true.

didn't Eric Weinrich have a yellow one too?

Looking at Getty images, I don't think Hossa wears a tinted one anymore. I know it used to be amber but it doesn't appear to be anymore.

[Machinehead2k5 32]

antropov wore a blue one in toronto.

For the life of me...I could not come up with his name when I saw this thread. I think he also had an orange tinted one in Phiily. I believe there is a member here who has one of his visors. I recall it from a past Winter Jam.

Same. I kept thinking it was Eric Desjardins so I was searching through google images of him trying to find a pic of him with a tinted visor. No wonder I couldn't find any.

Kyle Mclaren never played for the Flyers, he wore a yellow one for the sharks though...

He was traded to the flyers but failed his physical so the trade was reversed.

[JR Boucicaut 3802]

The Flyer who wore the colored shield was Weinrich.

right but he was the one who wore an orange visor and I believe he was the one that the member got it from.

I love the story behind McLaren wearing one. He's colorblind, so his teammates switched to yellow without him noticing. When he found out, they were winning so he kept it as a superstition.

Disclaimer: I don't recall the source of this story, it may be BS, but thats the version I heard and I got a chuckle out of it.

I think it's still tinted, but slightly if you compare it to a clear visor:
